Happy Hedgehog Day

Wednesday morning


Me: Hey, Heidi! Today is Groundhog day.

Heidi: What does that mean?

Me: There is a Groundhog in Pennsylvania how will look out of his hole. If he sees his shadow, he gets scared and goes back to sleep meaning there will be a late winter. If he doesn’t see his shadow, then there will be an early spring.

Heidi: Did he see his shadow?

Me: Nope. So, winter should be over soon.



Wednesday evening

Heidi: Mom, did you know today was beaver day?

Me: Beaver Day? Do you mean Groundhog Day?

Heidi: No. Beaver Day.



Thursday evening

Heidi: Mom, did you know yesterday was Hedgehog Day?

Me: Hedgehog Day? (snort!) Don’t you mean Groundhog Day?

Heidi: No. Beaver Day.

Me: I am pretty (snort) sure it was (wipe tears) Groundhog Day.

Heidi: I don’t know how to say that. Grouuuuu…. Growwww… Nope. It was Headgehog Day.

Me: Or maybe Beaver Day. (snort!)

Heidi: Yeah. That’s it. Beaver Day!
